EBX Goals and Vision
Radically Inclusive Pricing: Sliding Scale and Need Blind
EBX is a need blind. Meaning we are committed to making sure no one is excluded from our community due to finances. If you want to come, but feel held back by your financial situation, fill out a scholarship and volunteer application so that we can work together to make sure you are able to join us.
Co-Created Events
EBX is not run by a huge production company; it is run and produced by you, the participants! Everyone who registers will work a volunteer/ Plug-in shift during the event. You will get to choose where you plug in: working in the kitchen, building a structure, helping folks register and find their way around, creating an enchanted ambiance for the dances, supporting all our hard-working volunteers…whatever you decide, you’ll be helping to make the EBX magic happen.
Our events in The United States have required volunteering for years, and participants consistently tell us that their volunteer shift was a highlight of the event. You’ll get to hang out with people you may never have otherwise met, and most importantly you'll be helping to actively create and facilitate your community.
Be Respectful and Expect Respect
At EBX we believe in the creation of safe spaces and community empowerment. We welcome everyone into our community regardless of race, gender, sexuality, class, age, ability, or any other metric of discrimination. We also hold consent and the creation of consent culture as an important project in our community. We encourage everyone to take initiative in respecting, setting, discussing, and defending boundaries. Let's work together to create the community we all deserve.
Role Fluid Partner Dancing
At EBX, we are challenging, encouraging, and empowering social dancers to step outside their traditional roles on the dance floor. We introduce new techniques and concepts that question the need for a gender-binary in partner dancing. Rather than creating leads who follow, follows who lead, fleads and lollows, or whatever your colloquial binary-driven pronoun(s) of choice may be, we defend the idea that every dancer has the ability to both speak (the traditional lead role) and to listen (the traditional follow role). Where others see roles, we see a dynamic conversation; one with receptive speakers and listeners who respond, add, and affirm.
